The goal madhi road connects the Thaumadhi square with the Dattatray square. It separates the two districts Golmadhi and Sukuldhoka from each other. It is the bustling main street of Baktapur, on which many traders have settled. Gifts of any kind can be found here.

The five parts of a stupa starting from the top to bottom with the Pinnacle, the canopy, the gilded tapering tower, the round body and the square plinth are all symbolic of the five elements that coexist in harmony.

Merchants and nomads on the lucrative commodities trade between Nepal and Tibet used to stop by a site northeast of Kathamndu since ancient time to meet and to pray. Boudhanath as the site is now known has one of the largest stupa in the world. While there is no official record of anything significant being interred here at this 1,500 year burial mound, it is widely believed that a fragment of Buddha's bone is held here.Pilgrims normally enter this site from the North to pay tribute. It is believed that walking the stupa in a clockwise fashion for seven times would fulfill one's wish.On April 25th an earhquake measuring 7.8 struck between Pokhara and Kathmandu levelling many ancient historic sites across Nepal with thousands of fatalities, rising quickly on a daily basis as we speak of in this unfolding humanitarian disaster in one of the poorest country in SE Asia.Boudhanath fortunately sustains only minor damage so far. I hope this set of panoramas from a happier time could evoke a strong sense of national pride and identity for the people of Nepal at this difficult time.

The east face of Boudhanath. There are at least 50 gompas ( monasteries ) surrounding this little enclave of Tibetan culture northeast of Kathamndu.

The symbol between the pair of buddha eyes is the top part of the sanskrit character of one, here to imply that the only way to enlightenment is through Buddha's teachings.

To burn the body is an act of sacrifice, a way of purifying with fire the offerings to the gods. The body is driven to a funeral pyre and burned with logs and gas (in small villages coal is used). Unlike Varanassi in India, the local customs in Pashupatinath on taking photos are more relaxed.

Located in the walking path between the Pashupatinath temple and Guhyeshwori temple lies a couple of junction like these where people come to sit and relax in the surrounded Sleshmantak forest and enjoy nature here. If there are no other people around, one will surely be companied by monkeys, few or many.
